    From Ingot to Target: A Cast Bullet Guide for Handgunners

    Many of you have heard that Glen Fryxell has been writing a full length book on bullet casting, most of those that have heard this have been eagerly waiting for it.

    The wait is over, the book is out and it is outstanding. The foreword is by John Taffin and says it all about this book. Glen decided not to publish in a paper book but instead has published the book on the LASC web site.

    In html format . . .

    The pdf version . . .

    I'm sure you'll enjoy Glen's writing as much as I did.

    Just did a quick read of a couple chapters, he does a terrific job. Putting it on the WEB for free is just unbelievable when you consider the time and effort he must have put into this. As casters we are deeply indebted to Mr. Fryxell for his work.

    That was my first thought as well. To give up the book sales for free downloading is more than generous nut will also ensure a much wider audience. I might never have had access to a copy otherwise. Like others, I have bookmarked it to read on the lasc web site.

    I couldn't get through to it at first, but finally did. This is a bonanza of information.

    Glenn, YOU ARE THE MAN....Thank you sir.

    I wish it was in a pdf form so we could print it out and bind it. I started copying and pasting, but it will take a while.

    Wow! A great book! I only wished he had a few more pictures on some of the items he was describing but hey it's free and it is well described and will be on my Bookmarks page!

    Thanks for the link and thanks to the authors for giving us all a great guide for free!

    I agree, the net is nice but I like hard copy.

    I would even PAY for a pdf and bet others would also. If the authors did all this work for fun maybe a donation somewhere in their name in exchange for a copy would be in order.

    Glen are you listening?

    crabo, download - PDFill and Image writer- it is free, it will let you convert the chapters to PDF and load them on a cd.

    I thought it was a great thing to do, lots of good stuff.
    I like the way he explains things.

    That book would be a great sticky that people could refer new caster to, (like me). There is a lot of great information there. I also wish if was a hard back. I would get one for sure. edit: I guess it is there ain't it. Day late and a dollar short again.
